I’ve been loving your pod lately. The Mormon Wives episode was smart and helpful. While others gossiped, you explained the nuance beautifully. I look forward to each episode

United States3 months ago - The Dissonance We all Need
I’m a therapist who recently started listening and am just loving the intention of this podcast. So much content right now doesn’t leave space for dissonance or disagreement. There are moments I find myself feeling validated and moments I feel some of my thoughts and beliefs being gently challenged- and I’m here for it. We all need this model for critical thinking and nuanced conversations. Thanks for the podcast!

It is because of this amazing podcast and the hosts that I now have quite possibly the best therapist. Therapy for Women in Philadelphia is by far the best and most non traditional therapy center. I recommend any and everyone to try them out. BTW SAM I am sooooooo sad that you’re not a Philadelphia therapist!
